Alluvial mining is the mining of alluvial deposits of precious metals, either in rivers and river banks, or in now dry ancient river beds. Gold deposits found in rock formations in the mountains and along the rivers, disrupted through erosion, are displaced via flowing water from rain and washed downhill and concentrated in streams and rivers.
This study analyzes exploration data from 48 mining blocks at the Kwabeng mine and 20 blocks at the Kibi goldfields in Ghana to optimize overburden thickness, cutoff grade, and stripping ratio to improve gold recovery. Average gravel thickness was 2.1 meters with an average grade of 0.57 g/m3. The optimal overburden thickness was 0.9 meters and cutoff grade was 0.285 g/m3, …
